When did you start buying baby stuff?...

khartnett · Jun 17th, 2008, 06:36 AM

Hi ya, i just wondered when everyone started to buy stuff for baba???

I had a scan at 9 weeks everything was fine I have another on next thursday which will be my 12 week scan.

Is 12 weeks to early to buy things I dont want to tempt fate? What do you recon.

Cheers Kasey

i dont beleive u can tempt fate personally, with my first i bought from about 5 weeks i was so excited lol with this one i am trying to take things slow although a couple of weeks ago i did buy two outfits because they were in a sale really cheap so i would have been mad not to (thats my excuse anyway lol) i may start buying after my scan but i may still wait a while, i like to buy little bits at a time because then it doesnt cost so much i dont really have the money to buy all last minute, i think if you feel ready to buy stuff then go ahead its up to you

I am waiting til 5 months!!! Just saving for it before that.

It'snot as if i need anything yet or for the next 6 months. Plenty of time to get all of at stuff and be happy about it, without thinking, but what if!!!

Happy Shopping!

I'm quite happy to hold off for the moment. I know that the MIL will go mad as soon as we announce it. What I am doing is some research on the bigger things and keeping a list of things we'd like, in case people offer us anything pre-loved or presents

I have brought little bits and bobs since my first scan which was done at 10 and a bit weeks, wont buy anything major until after my sexing scan.

I think you should just buy when your ready, its not going to make any difference if you buy stuff at 5 weeks or 15 weeks

When I get my NHS scan on July 7th I'll be 14 weeks and I'm going to go out with the bf and buy a few bits and bobs afterwards

Once we know the gender, then I think we'll be shopping. Although I am tempted!

i bought a little set of vests last week but i cant really buy anything else because i dont know the sex yet, im going to just keep on buying little babygros and stuff that can be in neutral

I started at 13 weeks, after the first scan!

I'm going to start at the end of the first trimester, which is at the begining of July. I have summer holiday for 2 months so for me it's the ideal time to get shopping done. Also, I want to spread out the financial blow over a few months. I'm going to start with the big stuff - crib, stroller, car seat etc. and leave the clothes for after the sexing scan in August.
